Roberta Stevenson, Executive Director, BC Shellfish Growers Association, On the Island, August 4, 2010

"The shellfish growers really can't see anything but negative effects of a coal mine in the region, fronting their shellfish farming beds"

"We employ about 500 people in the region and we produce about $7 million worth of oysters and shellfish out of Baynes Sound"

"If they're not going to turn it down, then the least we want is a very large financial bond in place to cover farmers who might lose their livelihood because of it"
